Old Mountain Farm Market

A family business for three generations. Built on the motto that still remains today strong traditional Catholic values, hard work, and complete trust in God. The first generation of farmers came from Poland Benjamin and Stella Godlewsky started it all by buying a farm on Alphano Road in Great Meadows New Jersey. The farm land was very unique in this area, the soil is made up of a rich fertile black compost which was known locally as black muck. Growing vegetable crops of all types, especially root crops, grew with such vigor and produced an incredible taste.This particular farm area would be known by the locals as The Meadows and also known in the early days for producing the most outstanding celery and onion crops. For many years the farm was run strictly as a wholesale produce farm, growing delicious vegetables such as celery, iceburg lettuces, other lettuces, cabbage, onions, chicory, escarole, carrots, beets, spinach, peppers, tomatoes, leeks, parsley, and just so much more. Today the vegetable crops are still known for that high quality and taste, however, the emphasis on celery has changed with demands for a different market. Then in the late 70s to early 80s under the management of the late Joseph Godlewsky Sr. and his wife Genevieve and six children, decided to change the direction of the business from strictly agricultural to include a horticultural division. This idea came strictly out of necessity, since the family farm was in jeopardy of being lost and times were changing. Starting with just one large greenhouse, the experiment of growing began with a few varieties of annuals and hanging baskets. Marketing was done the old fashioned way. As years progressed and the customers began demanding more of our product in the horticultural end of the business more greenhouses were added. We began growing more varieties of annuals including more hanging baskets and adding perennials, herbs, and vegetable plants.
